Nice—who have you found that sits at the intersection of "wants to build custom personal apps" and "doesn't want to use a terminal UI"? Or, is there something people who already use Claude Code would get from this?

I think the main thing is UI and being on the cloud. I used to have all my todos and notes on claude code. But it's much nicer to have a UI that can directly interact with them (e.g. mark something as done or click to view more details). With CC you'd need to spin up a server and frontend and host them etc. Here we abstract those steps away without really reducing capability. You can create a frontend and it can talk to the file system or external APIs very easily.
+1. The main benefit is that the chat interface is enough, but not the most efficient/intuitive all the time. Love your idea that has both the chat interface and UI very well integrated with each other!
One way to think about is like Notion. Imagine if every notion page was a webapp instead of a markdown and then you had an LLM that had access to it all. So anyone who uses productivity software can potentially use it to make their very personal workspace.
